The subsystem has now been rebranded to Garuda Nix and can be used directly from a Garuda Linux live system.
Coming four months after MX Linux 25.2, the MX Linux 25.3 release is based on the latest Debian 13.7 “Trixie” operating system release and features the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel on the standard ISOs, while a Liquorix-flavored Linux 7.2 kernel is now used on the Xfce AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) ISO.
Coming two months after Clonezilla Live 3.3.3-15, the Clonezilla Live 3.3.3-37 release bumps the kernel from Linux 7.0 to Linux 7.1 for better hardware support, and updates the underlying GNU/Linux operating system to the latest packages from the Debian Sid repository as of September 13th, 2026.
